What was your favorite holiday song to sing/movie to watch growing up? I think that my favorite song to sing is "Christmastime is Here" from A Charlie Brown Christmas. It's one of my mama's favorite songs and Charles and I sing it all the time around the house. That movie means so much to so many people, including our family. When you see anything through the eyes of a child, I think it is beautiful. They have such a wonderfully simple and loving life perspective that you can't help but be endeared!

What’s your favorite thing(s) to do during the holidays? Or a favorite memory you have? Every December for the past seven years or so, Charles and I write and perform a Christmas special with and for some of our friends at our neighborhood caroling party. The caroling itself doesn't usually last long because anyone from Alabama knows, once it drops below 40, we ain't outside! The show, however, lasts forever because there is nothing I enjoy more than forcing my friends and family to watch me perform my own material.

What’s a tradition you have with your family/friends during the holidays? Every year since I can remember, my paternal grandparents have given us a new addition to our collection of Dickens Village ceramic houses and characters and every year my family sets it up on a table or around the house. We always make eggnog and listen to my dad's super cheesy Mannheim Steamroller Christmas CD (listen to "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer" if you need proof) and pull the pieces from their frustratingly squeaky styrofoam encasings, cringing simultaneously and wishing there was a better option to keep them in. It's a blast and a half.What’s the best gift you ever received? What’s the worst? I think that the best gift I have ever received must be my djembe from a couple of years ago. My mom gave it to me because I can't seem to get a job where they don't want me to play it! The worst gift might also be the djembe because if I didn't have it, I might never work again.

Which of the “12 Days of Christmas” is your favorite? I like Lords-a-leaping because it is hilarious to picture 10 tiny lords just jumping around with each other. You know what? That sounds fun! I am going to find nine of my friends right now to leap with. See you at the show!
